5. The Magical Story of the Great Chu Kingdom (5)(1/2)
"Buzz"
In Suzhou City, under the Smoky Rain Tower, a ink array covered with Mohist talismans flashed, shaping a door filled with light and darkness, covering it with quicksand.
The next moment, a female hero wearing white clothes, a hat and holding a long sword walked out of it.
She was very familiar with this place and did not need anyone to guide her. When she left the secret room, she started to rise and went up, as if she was up into the sky. In a few breaths, she passed through the prosperous city and landed in the moonlight zither platform more than ten miles outside the city.
"Are you injured?"
When I saw Yaoqin, this was the first sentence of the heroine Huiyin. She also went up to check whether Yaoqin was safe. She could not pretend to be concerned and anxious in her expressions and actions.
Yaoqin was attacked in the morning, and a female hero came from Xiaoxiang in the afternoon, saying that the two women were as deep as sisters, which is really not an exaggeration.
"No, that assassination was not targeted at me, I'm just a little unlucky."
Yaoqin was a little amused and crying.
While explaining what happened today to Huiyin, she led her to the guest room, but Lin Huiyin was not the first to come, let alone the fastest one.
"Yu Niang came here at noon and brought her three apprentices."
Yaoqin rubbed her forehead while complaining to Huiyin:
"The child has been uncontrolled in recent years. Although he has become a bit overbearing as the head of the sect, his temperament has become more and more explosive. He heard that I was attacked and furious.
It is said that this is a provocation by the monster to the Wangchuan Sect, and it is necessary to respond with a heavy blow.
I persuaded her not to listen, and insisted on transferring all the twenty-eight star puppets guarding the sect to Jiangnan. In less than three or four hours, all the areas where monsters existed around were swept away.
I heard that hundreds of monsters were captured back to Kunlun and thrown into the earth abyss to torture the origin of the monster's assassination.
Although I know that Yu Niang cares about me, it would be a bit too much to act like this."
"It's not a problem."
When Lin Huiyin heard this, she shook her head and said to Yaoqin:
"You are not from the world, and you don't care about the affairs of the court, so you don't know how serious the situation is today.
Not to mention that Yu Niang is like this, even if this matter is left to me, I will do the same.
You are afraid that you don’t know that these days, not only you and Shen Lan, but also all the sects in the martial arts world have been spying on and attacked by monsters and ghosts. In the Xiaoxiang land alone, seven sects have been attacked in the past few months.
There were also a group of ghosts who were ignorant of life and death who wanted to penetrate my sword gate, but were killed by me holding the sword.
Shen Lan is too unreasonable and doesn't discuss it with me, so she just treats you as bait. If it weren't for Qingqing's sake, she would definitely argue with her this time when she came to Suzhou!
Liu Zhuoran can’t help but protect the witch!”
Speaking of this, Huiyin's tone was a little bit a little bit stronger.
She held Yaoqin's hand and said:
"Those monsters have appeared for a day or two. It is impossible for those who are the leaders of them to know your identity, but even so, they will still appear and attack. Yu Niang said that this is a provocation and there is no problem at all.
It seems that those monsters are ready to move and are no longer willing to wait. They will cause trouble in Middle Earth like Japan."
"How could this be?"
Since Shen Qiu left, Yaoqin has not made a lot of appearance in recent years. She is in Suzhou City, either teaching Qinyi in Yanyulou, or helping Gongsun Yu or Shen Lan take care of the children, and not paying much attention to outside affairs.
It’s like after her husband left, she was less involved in this world.
He was a person with a simple temperament. Yaoqin was so peaceful about such a simple life. He heard Chen Lan say before, and then Huiyin said this. Yaoqin then realized that there were indeed some serious things that she had not paid attention to in the past five years.
She thought about it and asked:
"When I went to Yanjing to see Qingqing half a year ago, I heard from her that I had already had contact with some monsters gathering places. I wanted to follow the practices of the Japanese Birds and incorporate these monsters who are willing to be kind into the national and dynasty system, just like a warrior.
Things should go smoothly, why did it suddenly worsen?”
"You also said that what Qingqing wants to collect is a monster with a heart for goodness, but not all monsters have a heart for goodness and are willing to follow the education."
Huiyin put the spiritual sword in her hand on the table, plucked her hair, and said to Yaoqin:
"Their numbers have become more and more numerous in recent years. As the human race gathers more, all kinds of ideas will appear, let alone these monsters and ghosts who are already unruly?
Outside the Western Regions, the north is further north, the southern border is wilderness, and the east sea, a large number of demon clans have gathered. According to the investigation of the Wu Alliance, the demon country imitated the Great Chu court system and had class divisions, as if it was a broken land and a fiefdom.
They do not want to integrate with the human race and want to find their own land, but the fertile land in the world is in the hands of our human race. If they want to live a good life, they only have to grab it.
Middle Earth is pretty good. There are large army of warriors to suppress them. There are many martial arts practices. There are also predecessors in the fairy world who monitor them from time to time. The monsters are afraid to show up easily. In Japan, there are dragon horse warriors, spirit masters, and our Great Chu pioneers to suppress them. The monsters are already weak.
But other places outside the territory are very miserable.
There are some things that cannot be known to the public, for fear of scaring them.
Now that you are also attacked, those guys have set their targets on you. I guess the idea is to take you away as a hostage, force Qingqing to throw herself into trouble, give in to them, and divide the country."
Huiyin sighed, leaned forward a few lines, lowered her voice, and said in Yaoqin's ear:
"On the other side of Ayutaya, half a year ago, the Three Kingdoms were slaughtered by monsters, and four demon kingdoms were built, and three ghost cities were built.
The Dali Kingdom, the witchcraft under Xuanyu's command, has been plagued by demons on its borders. Most of the martial arts in Miao, Xinjiang, Guangdong and Guangxi are used to suppress the other side.
Yaoqin, the world has changed a lot after my husband left.”
Yaoqin's expression changed a little astonished.
She said in a complicated tone:
"Then why didn't you tell me before? Did Qingqing hide it from me?"
"Everyone cares about you."
Huiyin persuaded:
"Although you don't say it, everyone knows that your husband's departure will have the greatest impact on you. I and Qingqing also know your infatuation. I can't bear to let you think about other things.
Before my husband left, I also believed me and asked me to take care of you for him, so that you should not worry too much."
"Oh, I am in your heart, may I be such a delicate person?"
Yaoqin sighed and said:
"You are all dealing with changes in the world, but you still have to take the time to worry about me. It's really hard for you, but Huiyin also saw that the ferocious beasts could be subdued by the moon zither in my hand.
I heard about the current situation and I also learned the pressure that Qingqing is facing. This Luoyueqin is a treasure in the world and has various powers. If you stay here, you can just play music. It is better to do this. You can send it to Yanjing to Qingqing so that she can use it for self-defense."
"You don't have to worry about that."
Huiyin chuckled and said:
"Qingqing has the security of the great master guard around her, which is the safest place in the world.
This time I came here to take you out of Suzhou and accompany me to Xiaoxiang for a while, or send you to Qingluan Village, Taihang Mountain, so that these monsters will not make any more of their ideas on you."
"Well, I'll clean up."
Yaoqin was not a person who disobeyed advice. She also knew that at this time the monster had regarded her as a bargaining chip to confront Da Chu. Her insistence on staying in Suzhou added an uncertain crisis to the city.
Follow Huiyin to Xiaoxiang, where Grandmaster Chunyangzi was in charge, and even the monsters dared not invade, it was also a waste of Qingqing's worries.

Two days after the Lin'an attack, at the foot of Taihang Mountain, it was in the darkness.
This bleak place encountered wars many years ago, and there were plagues raging, which made the scenery here fail to recover until today. The human race withered here and there was spiritual energy, which instead gave other creatures the opportunity to grow.
There is a ghost town here, attracting the surrounding vengeful spirits, and entrenched in the wilderness between the foothills of Taihang Mountain and the Central Plains. This is the center of the Great Chu world. There are heavy troops guarding the north, and there is a major sect named Heluo Gang in the south.
In the past five years, the scale of Taihang Ghost Town here has been suppressed at a critical point. Not to mention chaos, it will be difficult to maintain its growth.
Since it is a ghost city, it is naturally different from a human city.
It has no city walls, but it has a barrier made by Yin Qi. In the wilderness, the barrier is blocked. Ordinary people cannot see this Yinshi City at all. When approaching this place, it is like falling into a big maze and unable to walk out in circles.
Only warriors with extremely high martial arts practice can find the entrance to the ghost city with their spiritual energy and magical powers.
Over time, rumors of haunted here spread, and this place became an unavoidable place for the people nearby. Except for some warriors who passed by here, no one came here.
But today, there are visitors in Taihang Ghost Town.
Master Lei jumped out of the ground in his soul, holding a white jade cigarette pole in his hand. Except for changing his clothes to the official uniform of the Dachu style, there was almost no change from his lifetime.
It was still as rich as a person, and there was a strange aura.
He looked at the city gate in front of him with a ghostly spirit. This thing was built by the method of calling spirits. The black door plaque was hung high, and the blood-red characters were engraved on it, and there was also a fierce ghost head as decoration.
At the city gate, two mighty ghost generals stood, holding long halberds and looking at the style of their clothes, they were clearly the North** outfits from more than 30 years ago. These resentful spirits were all killed in that battle.
The northern country has now been destroyed, and these soldiers are very resentful.
"You have done a great thing, but you have hidden it from me, colluded with the monsters outside the territory and tried to split the border between Central China. Now it's a big deal."
Master Lei sneered and said to the two ghost generals in front of him:
"Go and bring your city lord here, I want to ask it a few words!"
The ghost general did not speak or acted.
The next moment, as the yin energy around him echoed, a group of ghosts appeared from all directions in a terrifying and violent laughter, trapping Lei Ye who had come alone in front of the city gate.
The meaning of this scene is self-evident.
